Book excerpt: Ilse Zhalina is the daughter of one of Melnek's more prominent merchants. She has lived most of her life surrounded by the trappings of wealth and privilege. Many would consider hers a happy lot. But there are dark secrets, especially in the best of families. Ilse has learned that for a young woman of her beauty and social station, to be passive and silent is the best way to survive. When Ilse finally meets the older man she is to marry, she realizes he is far crueler and more deadly than her father could ever be. Ilse chooses to run. This choice will change her life forever. And it will lead her to Raul Kosenmark, master of one of the land's most notorious pleasure houses...and who is, as Ilse discovers, a puppetmaster of a different sort altogether. Ilse discovers a world where every pleasure has a price and there are levels of magic and intrigue she once thought unimaginable. She also finds the other half of her heart.

Sunday had been so full that many could not see the piece, and the consequence was a Monday Nachspiel, or overflow meeting. On the eventful day (August 23) the gun fired for rag-mass at 5 A.M., and was followed by sundry others. Shortly after seven, when the village band had made the normal promenade, streets and mudroads were puddled and paddled by boots and bottines; the thoroughfares reminded me only of the old Sussex highways, whose morasses were useful by keeping off footpads. The theatre, which had opened at 6.30, presently began to fill, and work began with the last gun exactly at 8 A.m. It would be supererogatory to give detailed descriptions of the tableaux and actions, which have appeared in a host of guide-books; I shall therefore offer only a synopsis, and confine myself to remarking what most needs remark--in fact, what most strikes the traveller. prologue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Passion Play as It Is Played to-Day: At Ober Ammergau in 1890 I tried to sleep, but could not. It was as if church bells were pealing their sweet but imperious music within my brain. So I got up and wrote. All is silent save the ticking of the watch by my bed-side silent as the stars which, gleam down from the blue sky above the cross-crowned crag, which stands like some gaunt sentinel keeping watch over the village at its foot. Herod, our host, sleeps soundly, and Johannes, wearied by his double service of waiter at the hotel and his role in the sacred play, is oblivious of all. The crowded thousands who watched for hours yesterday the unfolding of the Passion of Christ Jesus of Galilee have disappeared, and I am alone.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art in the Mountains: The Story of the Passion Play Since the following description of the Passion Play was written (part of which has already appeared in the Graphic newspaper), we learn that, in consequence of the interruption to these performances, caused by the war, they will be repeated for a short time, next summer. Joseph Mair and the principal performers did not, as was generally supposed, take any active part in the war. They are all, we are glad to hear, 'safe and sound' at the time we write; so that in all probability, this wonderful dramatic company will not be broken up. Information for future visitors to Oberammergau will be found in an Appendix to this volume; also in 'The Ammergau Passion Play' (reprinted from the Times), by the Rev. M. MacColl.

Download or read book Oberammergau written by James Shapiro and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bavarian village of Oberammergau has staged the trial, crucifixion, and resurrection of Christ nearly every decade since 1634. Each production of the Passion Play attracts hundreds of thousands, many drawn by the spiritual benefits it promises. Yet Hitler called it a convincing portrayal of the menace of Jewry, and in 1970 a group of international luminaries boycotted the play for its anti-Semitism. As the production for the year 2000 drew near, James Shapiro was there to document the newest wave of obstacles that faced the determined Bavarian villagers. Erudite and judicious, Oberammergau is a fascinating and important look at the unpredictable and sometimes tragic relationship between art and society, belief and tolerance, religion and politics.

Download or read book Jethro Tull s Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play written by Tim Smolko and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-07 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1960s, British progressive rock band Jethro Tull has pushed the technical and compositional boundaries of rock music by infusing its musical output with traditions drawn from classical, folk, jazz, and world music. The release of Thick as a Brick (1972) and A Passion Play (1973) won the group legions of new followers and topped the Billboard charts in the United States, among the most unusual albums ever to do so. Tim Smolko explores the large-scale form, expansive instrumentation, and complex arrangements that characterize these two albums, each composed of one continuous song. Featuring insights from Ian Anderson and in-depth musical analysis, Smolko discusses the band's influence on popular culture and why many consider Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play to be two of the greatest concept albums in rock history.

Download or read book Passion Play written by Jerzy Kosniski and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the author of The Painted Bird and Being There: the story of a roving polo player who seeks fulfillment through transgression: “his best novel yet” (The Harvard Crimson). William Kennedy wrote in The Washington Post that “the Kosinski hero is unique in literature, as recognizable as the Hemingway hero used to be.” In Passion Play, Kosinski conjures Fabian, perhaps the most romantic, violent, and lust-driven hero of them all. A modern knight-errant of his own moral code, Fabian roams America in his custom-built VanHome, his refuge, transport, and stable for his two horses. His livelihood is polo—not the millionaire’s team sport, but the life-threatening duel of clashing horsemen. The prize is more than money and honor; it is the awareness of having drawn upon every resource of body and mind, of man and horse in danger. Passion Play is a masterpiece of violence and seduction, love and loss, by one of the world’s greatest writers.
